Is This Ammo a Good Buy?
I have a friend that is moving away from the gun side of life and is unloading a lot of his ammo. Are these good prices/cartridges?
1) 75 boxes (3,750 rounds) of Sellior & Bellot 9mm for $500 2) 20 boxes (1,000 rounds) of Winchester SuperX .22 LR for $25 (says I can use this in both rifles & pistols) Thanks! |

6.66 a box of 50... That is a good price.
The .22 is so-so. Not bad,but not great either.

I've never heard of Sellior & Bellot- is that a respected brand?

I would pick up the 9mm if I had the money, .22 prices are going up as well and it's a fair price. I have shot S&B many times without any problems. It's still cheaper to reload 9mm vs. buying from your friend, but if you plan on shooting factory ammo for a while go for it.

They've been around for over 100 years. I shot better than 500 rounds through my .45. Never had a problem. It's inexpensive and shoots well.
